Business Doctor Tip: Why Did You Start This Business?
John Pyron's clients nicknamed him "The Business Doctor." When you see a doctor, you want an answer, not weeks of talk. So here's a quick checkup. Ask yourself why you started your business, what you hoped to achieve, whether you still enjoy it, and whether you're on track. Most owners started their business for freedom: to do what they want, when they want, with whom they want. If your business has taken that freedom away, it's time to go back to your "why."

Christmas with Chris Tomlin Comes to the Civic Auditorium

Known for modern worship anthems like "How Great Is Our God," Tomlin fills his Christmas shows with beloved carols, worship songs, and the true reason for the season. It's a meaningful night out for families, church groups, and anyone who wants to celebrate the birth of Christ through music. More Info
An Evening of Song in a Sacred Space
Few settings are as breathtaking for choral music as the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (711 S. Northshore Drive). The Knoxville Chamber Chorale, part of the Knoxville Choral Society, presents its Fall Concert there on November 19th, at 7:00 PM.
It's a lovely way to slow down before the holiday rush: beautiful voices, soaring acoustics, and an evening of music in a peaceful, sacred space.
Admission is free, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reserve your seat through the Cathedral's website. More Info
